INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Observe the following precautions when choosing a location for your Emotiva UMC-1:
1) Protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and other direct sources of heat, such as heating vents and
radiators.
2) Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. If fluid or a foreign object should enter the unit, immediately turn off the
power and contact Emotiva.
3) Avoid excessive exposure to extreme cold or dust.
4) Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
5) If you need to clean the front surface, first turn off the power and then use a soft dry cloth, rubbing with the grain.
Be careful not to scratch the display window.
Ensure the unit is plugged into an outlet capable of supplying the correct voltage and current specified for your model.
Remember to account for the electrical power that other components will require if they share a common wall socket.
The majority of household electrical sockets in places other than the kitchen and garage are 15 amperes maximum.
Most DVD players and other source components are fairly low current items. The Emotiva UMC-1 requires a minimum
of 2 amperes @ 120 volts. It should be sufficient to allow the UMC-1 to share a wall socket with other video source
units, but power amplifiers and a video display (big screen TV or video projector) should each be provided a SEPARATE
electrical connection on a SEPARATE circuit. This configuration yields the most stable power supply in any home theater
application, regardless of your equipment choices.
Refer to your power amplifier and video display's owner's manuals to learn the power requirements so you can safely
plan your electrical power requirements for your home entertainment system.
